Causes You Can Support
Behind every registered cause is a real person, family, UK charity or community project seeking support.
Influential Stars supports UK-registered charities, verified community projects and verified personal causes involving serious health conditions, life-limiting illnesses, life-changing circumstances and other significant challenges.
Some causes may already have a crowdfunding page, but this is not required. Eligible individuals, families and community projects can be verified and supported directly through an Influential Stars campaign.
Creators can support any cause registered on the platform. If the cause they care about is not currently listed, our team can contact them and help them become registered.
